Our Waste Management and Minimisation Plan (WMMP) sets out how Council believes we, as a community, should be managing and minimising the waste in the district - not just household waste, but the waste that comes from our businesses and industries too.
This is something that we are required to do at least every six years under the Waste Minimisation Act, which came into force in 2008.
The first part of the process is to produce a new Waste Assessment (PDF, 1.1MB), which pulls together all the information we can access about what waste produced in the District, and where it currently goes. From this information, we can identify the key areas where, as a District, we could be managing or minimising waste better.
